BTA Tank Editor VIDEO!

Here you can see some tanks being created in our all new tank editor; some are small and agile and some are VERY large.  You’ll have to play for a while to get the ability to create the largest tanks, though.  Enjoy!

    forgot, I own a site I might try to put it on

  22. DeadlyMollusk on August 20th, 2009

    It’s right there, just click on it.

  23. DeadlyMollusk on August 20th, 2009

    It may be that you need the right plugin. Try clucking on the blue leggo(if there is one).

  24. turchx on August 20th, 2009

    twenty1st comment so excited for the release of BTA, and HI or Steph or the moderator for the comments, Was the symmetrical mode already in your plans from the start or fan made, because I was the person who posted that comment when I did and I wanted to know if it was my idea or you already thought of it. Sorry for being vain…

  25. NuclearSong on August 20th, 2009

    0.o

    Exiting isn’t it?

    Tanks, bubbles, and editing. Oh my!

    I’m really looking foward to this! Did you add an undo button, because by the looks of it I think you did. Other than that I think this is going to be awesome!!!

    Keep up the hard work!

    P.S. I’d like that address too..

  26. piemastr on August 20th, 2009

    I like very large tanks(VERY) too bad it will take me a while to get that big though….

  27. lol on August 20th, 2009

    Is there shortcuts for the buttons? like Delete to delete the selected bubble and we can only have 25 bubbles max and 4 weapons?

  28. Sam on August 20th, 2009

    This looks absolutely amazing. I can’t wait for it to come out. I’ve noticed that the bubbles all seem to pulse in sync, unlike Bubble Tanks 2. I can see why, that would’ve been even more difficult to program, I would guess. So, Is the whole game red-purple themed now? (That’s rhetorical, just so you know.)

  29. TankerX on August 20th, 2009

    It looks A-W-E-S-O-M-E-!-!-!
    Keep up the great work!

  30. -Zuka- on August 20th, 2009

    Sweeet…
    Judging from this it appears that the game will come out sometime in October =D

  31. NuclearSong on August 20th, 2009

    I see a number constantly changing at the top right corner that has FPX next to it. Any chance you can tell me what it is?

  32. jeff on August 20th, 2009

    my stomach burped because im so happy

  33. Bshadow4 on August 20th, 2009

    I’m so excited! finally a video! and it looks really cool, I’d be glad to even just have a demo of the maker, but I know that’ll never happen, so keep up the good work! ;D

  34. The Wooterman on August 20th, 2009

    Oh… my… God…
    That… looks… Kool.
    Cant… wait…

  35. Flameonfish on August 20th, 2009

    Looks cool :D
    I want to make a small tank with that super machinegun!

  36. Darkness on August 20th, 2009

    nuclearsong it probably actually says fps which stands for frames per second

  37. Illusion on August 21st, 2009

    Cool!!!
    but if the body of the tank is red,
    what color are the bullets then?

  38. Dramen on August 21st, 2009

    WOAH!!

    Was that a class 6!??!!?!?!?!?!?!? Or was it 5?!

    M-M-M-M-MONSTER-AW-AW-AWSOME-SOME-SOME!

    To quote a dear ork freind:

    “DATS MOAR LIKE IT!!!”

    Omfgrafol…100 bubbles and 20!! weapons slots?

    NICE!!!

    Omg please hurry up with i cant wait to make something that huge :D!

    And 300% armor? roflcombololz! W000t cant wait, this is going to one of if not the BEST flash games ever ^^!

    Plus it looks so easy to do as well! The UI looks smooth and fluid, quick and easy to navigate wow…just wow ^^

    Superb work guys, it looks done to me :P.

    For your next vid, can we see some actual combat?

    Im also intrigued at what colour the bullets/projectiles will be, black? Blue? hehe would be kewl!

  39. eeli7 on August 21st, 2009

    just watched the video in youtube (I subbed to HI :P)

  40. ragondarknes on August 21st, 2009

    Well, as everybody, i am looking forward!!
    It was a class 6 tank, and there are some limits on the weapons, witch i think is logical and great!
    For instance, you can’t put the master gun on a class 4 or lower tank. Would be kinda fun thought.
    See that tank the size of the sniper, but that can … shoop da hoop. Would be fun… but hack.
    You said “And it’s very unlikely that a demo will be released.”
    But that still means that it is possible, right?
    Im also curious about the color of the bubbles.
    And finally. I don’t expect an answer, but, are you guys done with the editor, and now starting the arenas?
    Well, keep on your great work guys!!!
    (lol 38th comment)

  41. ragondarknes on August 21st, 2009

    oh, and i also think it’s WONDERFUL that you can rotate your weapons. that was something that frustrate me when i played upgrade complete, and i am very glad that you did it.

  42. MInato on August 21st, 2009

    AMAZING! As I can see there is an undo button, but, si there a redo button? It would be really stressing if you had a big tank, accidentaly redo, and then ITS GONE! I, am too, intrigued by the bullets color, maybe purple? green? white? yellow?

  43. turchx on August 21st, 2009

    Also sorry for double posting, my post was long forgotten and I’m eager for an answer, although it might not be possible to get one I would like to be notified!

  44. BTgirl on August 21st, 2009

    Can’t wait!!!!!!

  45. Flameonfish on August 21st, 2009

    Im going to guess the bullets are orange. Idk just seems to fit.. like a dark orange…

  46. eeli7 on August 22nd, 2009

    I know this have been asked many times but when is the relase day? I knon that you don’t know yet but is it gonna be soon?

  47. Jared on August 22nd, 2009

    @turchx: Yes, we always had plan for a symmetrical mode. But I’m glad to hear we’re on the same page!

    @MInato: There is no redo button. However, clicking the undo button will only undo your last operation such as resizing or moving or placing a bubble. It can’t accidentally delete your whole tank.

  48. Weesplat on August 22nd, 2009

    Haven’t other pictures shown that the bubbles are blue?

  49. bt lover on August 22nd, 2009

    o………m………g…………………………………….. so awsome guys!!!! keep it up beacause ur tempting me to break in there and play a beta or somthin like that :p (kidding)but still keep up the good work cause i check ur guys website/blogs every day!!! im a super big fan of bt games!!!! ok well see ya next time ppls!!! ill be checkin in!!!

  50. Jomn on August 22nd, 2009

    Didn’t you pay attention? Instead of a blue color theme, they’re using a red-purple color theme to distiquish BTA from BT2 and BT.

  51. Erdna on August 22nd, 2009

    WoW this is going to be awsome.
    Good work. :)

  52. NuclearSong on August 22nd, 2009

    @Jomn, Didn’t YOU pay attention. We’ve recently been talking about the color of bullets. So he’s saying that they might be blue.

  53. Baysie on August 23rd, 2009

    Personally if your tank could only be red i would be pretty sad (i hate red :p). Maybe if you defeat a certain enemy bubble tank or reach a certain bubble tank level you can unlock new color styles (like in pixel) Other then that this game would be perfect for me. :)

  54. Jomn on August 23rd, 2009

    I’m sorry, but unless I’m mistaken, he said something about pictures. I honestly didn’t see any other BTA pictures. So I’m just saying that he might not be talking about bullets and just the color of the bubbles themselves. We just need Weeslpat’s confirmation on he was talking about.

  55. Jared on August 23rd, 2009

    We have not yet determined what the color of the bullets will be.

    The overall look of BTA will be redish-purple so that we distinguish it from the rest of the BT series. Someday when we return to the standard series with BT3, we’ll go back to a blue color.

  56. AC/DC on August 23rd, 2009

    Thought I’d ask, what will the highest class be?

    *crosses fingers hopong for infinite.*

  57. Flameonfish on August 24th, 2009

    How would there be infinite? That would be a super invincible tank that everyone would make

  58. Ma88hew on August 24th, 2009

    So the “foundation” bubbles don’t use up any of your “currency” bubbles at all, but the guns do?
    Interesting. I can’t wait! :D

    Also, I’m pretty sure that there will be a finite limit. Infinite would also mean infinite possible lag. And Class 6 would be large and laggy enough. D:

    I would like blue bullets best… Purple may work, though. With the red/purple theme.

  59. Jared on August 24th, 2009

    There are Bubble Points and Gun Points. Everything uses up Bubble Points. Gun Points are only used up by guns. Bubble Points determine how complex you can make your tank.

    The max tank size is class 6 which encompasses the whole box area. It will be hard to unlock class 6.

  60. Minicliper on August 24th, 2009

    O.O

    awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    didn’t another post or whatever say you could upload other people’s tanks or somthing?

    I’ve got tons of ideas for tanks X[)

  61. Jared on August 24th, 2009

    You will be able to download other people’s tanks to your machine.

  62. tim on August 24th, 2009

    shaweeet

  63. bravo on August 25th, 2009

    Did I hear a BT3?

  64. konkvonkejvodo on August 25th, 2009

    Will tanks have possibility to place more than one secondary weapon? :)

  65. MakotoShinobi on August 25th, 2009

    Looks good so far. :)

  66. jeff on August 25th, 2009

    wow thats really cool. it seemes to flow together nicely. p.s. could you guys post somthing new to the blog? anything at all? i check everyday then wait till 12:00 to check again.(incase if it is updated at that time)

  67. Jared on August 26th, 2009

    @konkvonkejvodo: Yes, tanks can place more than 1 secondary weapon. You will have to wait till all secondary weapons are charged up before you can fire. When you fire you will fire all secondary weapons at the same time.

  68. DeadlyMollusk on August 26th, 2009

    So if you have a “mega bubble cannon” and a sheiks you have to fire both simultaniously?

  69. ragondarknes on August 26th, 2009

    a glue burst stun burst damage burst would be pretty nice

  70. Jared on August 26th, 2009

    What is a sheiks?

  71. DeadlyMollusk on August 26th, 2009

    Shield. Sorry, iPod Touch. :)

  72. frederik on September 3rd, 2009

    Do the bubble have to touch? because… yea a flying thingy from up above :D it’d be fun to make and break :)

  73. Flameonfish on September 5th, 2009

    Man im excited for this

  74. Endless_Chaotic on September 5th, 2009

    You guys are doing great hope you finish soon I really look forward to playing the newest bubble tanks i can’t play the older ones anymore because i played it to many times and I’m getting bored. Love Hero Interactive woot!!

  75. Bshadow4 on September 8th, 2009

    Same as Chaotic, I’ve played both 1 and 2 so many times and unlocked/beaten everything, so now it got boring…and ever since summer ended, all the good games stopped coming out…PLEASE MAKE BTA A GAME I CAN PLAY FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!!!

  76. J-bot on September 10th, 2009

    EPIC is the only word that can describe this.

  77. bervin on September 10th, 2009

    i will make a tank that will have 4 big tanks 5 machine guns 9 regular guns 9 sniper guns 9 spawn makers 9 mine makers and 9 different secondary wepons ( In memory of the movie 9)it will be in the shape of a 9.

  78. bervin on September 10th, 2009

    A bubble tank is a cluster of mutated bubbles

  79. SputniK on September 13th, 2009

    Yea!!
    I can`t wait. :(

  80. Roby on September 14th, 2009

    I`m waiting for this game pretty while (a year) I can`t wait to play it!

  81. ThatGuy on September 14th, 2009

    :o OMG! I love bubble tanks sooo much! They are all great games and I hope this one will be too! The Tank Editor seemes simple enough to use too! Can’t wait!

    Does this mean your done with the editor and moving on to gameplay next? :D

  82. Timmy on September 16th, 2009

    Well I hope not, i hope they are almost finished with the gameplay too, if they are just starting by now it will still take a loong time. And I dont wanna wait anymore! :p

  83. Casebier on October 6th, 2009

    Can’t wait to try out that Blah 1 Cannon! :D

  84. Casebier on October 6th, 2009

    On to serious questions…

    Will there be any snap-to features in the editor?

    Will the bubbles have to connect to each other for the tank to be accepted? If so, will they have to connect when the bubbles are fully contracted or fully expanded?

    I also just noticed the bubbles aren’t pulsing in time to each other, which a poster above (Sam) said they were. (okay, so that wasn’t a question)

  85. NuclearSong on October 6th, 2009

    I’m not sure if I missed something but, can you edit other tanks?

  86. ragondarknes on October 6th, 2009

    im pretty sure you can
